Leesville High School - Silhouettes Yearbook (Leesville, LA)

Dear Alumni of Leesville High, This section is dedicated to you, the former members of the faculty and students of L.H.S. By including these pictures in our yearbook, we hope that you will be able to see what Leesville High looks like in 1967-68, in addition to seeing the admin- istration, activities, sports, and graduates. Throughout the school year, the students gathered for various assemblies in the Lees- ville High School auditorium. Among these were the pep rallies, the talent show, which was sponsored by the Student Council, Homecoming, choral and band concerts, and numerous guest personalities. Because of the Fort Polk military establishment near- by, our enrollment increased each day. This year the enrollment peaked at 742. A new addition to our campus was the construction of the new gymnasium, which was completed at mid-semester. The phys- ical education program at Leesville High consists of those courses and activities de- signed to help meet the physical and recre- ational needs of youth. To help the students achieve this physical shape, the gym is equipped with the latest gymnastic, isomet- ric, and game facilities.

Wherever the Wampus Cats travel... they always travel in style. This new shiny vehicle was purchased by the Vernon Parish School Board, hoping that the stu- dents of L.H.S. will continue to bring back many honors to their school. The bus is painted with the traditional black and gold colors. Special features include: air- conditioning, full air brakes, and comfort- able seating for 42 ferocious Cats. The keys were presented to Mr. Joe Westerchil, principal of Leesville High School, by a representative of Huffman Motor Company of Alexandria, during an all school turn out on March 14. During third period, the students were told to report to the front of the school to meet a visitor. As they hurried down the halls, many speculated that perhaps the guest was L.B.J....... others hoped for the governor ... and still others predicted that it had to be Bonnie and Clyde ! Upon sight of the new arrival, the studejns' enthusiasm was tremendous. Within seconds it was en- circled and inspected from front to rear. Among other top ranking events of the year was Homecoming. The graduating class of 1943 was honored at the annual tea held in the school cafeteria. In the picture at the left, Sherri Hammock, who presided over the punch bowl, serves the 1967 Homecoming Queen, Miss Penny Pollacia. With these few pictures and words, the WAMPUS CAT staff hopes that you have relived your memories of Leesville High and compared them to those of the 1967-68 Leesville High School. May God bless and keep you. 16 THE WAMPUS CAT STAFF
